What's a song with lyrics you didn't fully understand until you were older?

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel.

I had no idea it was quite so literal. Think I was just so amazed by the awesome music video that I had no reason not to think that he was just making a funny song about wanting to be someone's boyfriend, with a very cool video. 🙈... innocent childhood ruined! Still a great song though!
